New York, is one of my favorite cities after London. When i was a child all i ever wanted is to visit someday or somehow New York, watching those american movies or series filmed in New York it only made me feel so desperate to be there, asking my self how it feels to be there, wishing to see those skyscrapers and so on . So one day i earn a lot of money and planned to go there with a couple of friends. When we get there, we just can’t believe it….it feels like we were inside of New York movies, i just can’t believe what my eyes saw, those skyscraper, the yellow cabs, Impire State , etc. and i will never ever forget that amazing feeling, it was one of the happiest moment of my life. Describing it with this words it’s not enough what i felt for New York and yes it was a dream come true since i was child. So, we stayed there for 10 days and yes how not… we saw a lot of things but even that, there is a lot of places or things to do in New York.

We stayed in Manhattan. As you know the city of Manhattan is divided in Lower Manhattan, Midtown and Upper Manhattan, with Fifth Avenue dividing Manhattan’s in east and west sides. Manhattan is surrounded by the Hudson River. So mostly of the attractions you will find it in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan. So we decided to rent an apartment in Midtown Manhattan, we have chosen an apartment to rent instead of hotel, because it’s much more practical for us and cheaper, we can keep out like waking early for breakfast, eat always outside and all that stuff, in opposite of that, staying in an apartment we can wake up lately, go to supermarket and prepare our breakfast with bagels and sometimes our dinner as well. We had a very good located apartment, near to subway, Empire State view, supermarkets, restaurants and much more.

While we are having a breakfast we sat down together and talked about the plan for the entire day, i was the guide of the group, before we traveled to New York, i prepared a guide, which places we would like to visit and yes my friends were very happy that they can rid of this things making a travel plan but im happy to do this, is one of my vocation making a travel plan.
